Ahead of Wednesday’s duel with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Joel Embiid is listed as questionable with back soreness. However, Philadelphia 76ers head coach Doc Rivers said during morning shootaround that he anticipates both Embiid and James Harden will suit up against Cleveland. Harden is not included on the injury report.
Cleveland, meanwhile, is without Dean Wade (right knee soreness), Rajon Rondo (right ankle sprain), Jarrett Allen (fractured left finger) and Collin Sexton (torn left meniscus). Embiid is the only non-G League assignee mentioned on Philadelphia’s injury report.
The Sixers are set to face the Cavaliers for the third time in a five-week span.
